This is what I do. My only “social network” is group chats in messaging clients (and anonymous Internet forums).

Given how many more people lurk in places like Twitter than post, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is more common than extensive social network use (a little social network use is unavoidable—if my wife didn’t have a read-mostly Facebook account, I’d have to)

Stapling vacation photos to every light post in the world is what seems like the bizarro-world behavior, to me. Which is what social network posting is.

Even the forum (custom Perl, then phpnuke, then phpbb) I ran for friends in high school & college was set to no-public-registration and no visibility to unauthenticated users. Like… duh.

Modern social media’s what’s fucking weird, not what we do.
